A bike trip is one of the most enjoyable and easy-to-do adventures. Just get on the bike and go in any direction. It is worth setting the route in advance in general assumptions and finding out if it is suitable for cycling. For such a spontaneous trip, you only need to take a few essentials with you. It is different if the trip would last a few days or, for example, a week. This requires taking more items, as well as having a suitable bicycle, most often with the option of mounting a rack and bicycle panniers. Finally, there are expeditions that last more than a few weeks and lead through areas far from civilization. For example, a few or maybe several dozen cyclists are currently traveling alone in deserts around the world. To survive in extreme conditions on your own, you need to have perfect logistics.

For most of us, the end of August is associated with the end of holidays. Before summer becomes just a memory, however, one more trip is worth taking - to Düsseldorf. Probably every caravanning enthusiast associates this German city with the largest industry event in Europe - the Caravan Salon fair. This year, too, there should be plenty of attractions. When going to Germany, it is worth booking at least a few days to visit the exhibition halls. And there will be plenty to watch! Over 600 exhibitors have announced their participation. We will have the opportunity to admire 130 brands of motorhomes and caravans in as many as 13 exhibition halls with a total area of 214,000 square meters! One day is definitely not enough to visit all the stands calmly.

If we travel short distances, the standard suspension may be sufficient. However, if we like long trips, we probably would like them to be as comfortable and safe as possible. And if so, it is worth deciding to install an air suspension. When the standard motorhome suspension does not meet our expectations, it's time to get interested in pneumatics. The air suspension is available in two versions - it is cheaper and therefore the supporting suspension is more often used. Its lower price is due to because they are mounted on the existing mechanical suspension. It improves the stability of the vehicle, but unfortunately, it does not provide the same comfort as full air suspension. So if we can spend more money on the purchase, don't wonder - full air suspension will simply be better.

Caravanning is an alternative way of traveling, valued especially for its complete freedom and independence. Among enthusiasts of motorhome trips there are many enthusiasts of two wheels - bicycles and motorcycles. Are you one of them? Do you dream of taking your favorite two-wheeler with you in the season that is just beginning? Nothing easier! All you need to do is stock up on a dedicated solution that allows for easy, convenient and safe transport of a bicycle or motorcycle in a motorhome. A bicycle on vacation is the best means of communication for people who love being active. With a two-wheeler, you can follow the bike paths waiting at your destination, enjoy the beautiful views and reach where others cannot. Transporting bicycles in a motorhome is now easier than ever! The camping accessories store offers two basic types of luggage racks. The first of them - on the drawbar, guarantees a simple and quick installation of the bicycle in the front of the caravan. Special bumpers protect the bike from potential damage in transport, and the platform with a lock prevents the bike from moving. The second type are towbar mounted racks, recommended for passenger cars. Thanks to the tilting structure, they allow you to easily get into the trunk of the car without having to remove the bikes. Motorhome owners, on the other hand, will love ladder racks mounted on the vehicle wall. Depending on individual needs, motorhome racks allow you to take up to 4 bikes with you on vacation! It will be appreciated especially by all those traveling with a larger group of family or friends.

What comes to your mind when you hear the slogan "Italian cuisine"? What foods appear first in the head? Probably pizza, then spaghetti, then lasagne or gnocchi. Or rather ... rice? When it comes to sweets, the first association is panna cotta, or rather tiramisu? As you can see, it's not that simple. What must we eat in Italy, what dishes to know? Much depends on what region we chose as a holiday destination, which part of this beautiful and diverse country. The cuisine of southern Italy is rich, varied, and draws handfuls from the influences of other countries' cuisines. At the same time, it is quite light, and certainly lighter than the dishes on the restaurant's menu in the north. But more on that later. By choosing a holiday in the south of Italy, we give ourselves the opportunity to discover colorful dishes with an intense aroma and taste, with lots of spices and herbs. This kitchen is ruled by, among others oregano, basil, as well as thyme and tarragon. Parmesan cheese is added to many dishes, we can also sense the strong taste of garlic, onions and fresh tomatoes in them. If you order a pizza, it is right here, and preferably in Campania. Spaghetti or more corpulent maccheroni also taste delicious here. How it smells!.

During the last trip, we had the opportunity to test a compressor refrigerator provided to us by Dometic Poland. Dometic refrigerators were known to us before, because we have been using the CFX 40 in our Opel Vivaro for 3 years. This time we checked how the maxi-refrigerator will work in a minivan. The Dometic brand itself does not need to be introduced to tourism enthusiasts on board a motorhome or with a trailer on a hook. It is also worth knowing that this Swedish company known for the production of caravanning equipment is also the world's largest manufacturer of portable refrigerators.

There comes a moment in every adult's life when he or she cannot use his or her own car, even though it is very necessary. This is often caused by leaving the car in the workshop or selling it and waiting to buy a new one. Even if we come to the capital of Poland in a camper, we would also need a car to make sightseeing easier. In such situations, a very good solution will be to rent a car from a special company that offers such services. There are at least a few of them in every larger city, so we have quite a large selection. However, it is worth remembering that the offers of different car rental companies may differ dramatically. Not only in terms of price, but above all the class of the car offered and the detailed terms of the contract.

Getting to know new places "from the inside" is a favorite element of our travels. When choosing a restaurant, we always consult the residents, and besides, we ask the staff for help in choosing the most typical dishes for a given region. Thanks to this, we get to know the "culinary showcases" of the visited area.
